Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ycenool loonecyy (@ycenool) reported

    @Castenovaa We shouldn’t compare overwatch to other games. Blizzard prided themselves off a communication with the community. Yet we have gotten none at all. And I’m sure the DDos has been taken care of by now. This is just a lack of care from the devs

  • Inky_Buns Inky Buns (@Inky_Buns) reported

    As far as I know overwatch 2 is just a grey void with server issues.

  • bjorksriddIes Riot arakunti ˙ᵕ˙ (@bjorksriddIes) reported

    overwatch still not working

  • TheMusicalGhost The Musical Ghost (@TheMusicalGhost) reported

    Got queued with 30000 players in Overwatch 2 only to get an unexpected server error when it reaches 0, so i get queued again and this time the queue is 50000. thanks blizzard 👍 👍👍👍👍

  • TheGamingCardYT Ricky (@TheGamingCardYT) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS I can't find if this is a known issue, but I don't have all the characters unlocked in OW2 and I've owned and played Overwatch since release.

  • bossythe3rd bossythe3rd (@bossythe3rd) reported

    why overwatch 2. why. why did some absolute dinglefuck have to DDOS blizzard servers like what do you GAIN

  • YukinariSasaki7 //Rika Bernkastel (@YukinariSasaki7) reported

    I am so glad I didn’t buy the Watchpoint Pack for Overwatch 2. They should’ve know how many people there gonna be to play this Free-to-Play game, server disconnections, and login/sign-in issues. However, that is what the beta was for, to combat these issues on day 1 on launch!!

  • 95BlockCaptain veeks💕 (@95BlockCaptain) reported

    overwatch 2 and my xbox is broken 💔

  • ExtraCliche Extra Cliché (@ExtraCliche) reported

    Now that I actually got into #Overwatch there are some major problems with spawn camping

  • I_Dory_I 👻Cassi👻 (@I_Dory_I) reported

    All I gotta say is rip to mercy no idea why they forced a super jump kit on her thanks for ruining the only person i play smh **** YOU OVERWATCH 2 always gotta touch stuff dont fix what isnt broken just cause people dont know how to super jump after 5 years plz lmao ruined her :(

  • lukewarmshower Kang (@lukewarmshower) reported

    theres only 3 british players in the overwatch league i must fix it

  • Rainbow_Phoenyx Jensyn Valor May (@Rainbow_Phoenyx) reported

    Super bummed that all the issues with #Overwatch2 are preventing me from playing. Plus the fact that it has replaced Overwatch 1, so now I can’t play my favorite game at all. Really disappointed, @Blizzard_Ent

  • MeatBoxLIVE 👉MeatBoxLIVE👈 (@MeatBoxLIVE) reported

    Ayo if they ever fix their servers I'ma try streaming Overwatch 2 sometime next week. May put out an APB for mutuals when tha- I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICES THERE I SAID IT, ****

  • CrossRaven CrossRaven (@CrossRaven) reported

    Gundam Evolution devs were at least communicative during their launch issues. Overwatch made a tweet 8 hours ago saying "yeah there's issues" and then dropped off the face of the earth because streamers had no problem logging in and that's all that matters.

  • TheGeeZus EMGG GeeZus 🔜 FA2022 (@TheGeeZus) reported

    Today's lesson... Don't stream a live service or MMO games on launch day, despite the mega hype ness... Already tired on keeping looking at the screen repeating the multiple 300+ queue on Overwatch 2.

  • Meat4Golden Meat (@Meat4Golden) reported

    Man unable to login in for Overwatch 2 and haven’t received a sf6 beta code

  • xdxmun Cxpia ⁀➷ (@xdxmun) reported

    @transylvictor Overwatch is apparently prioritizing Streamings because none of the streamers had this issue >:(

  • Lovecraft_1937 H.P. Lovecraft (@Lovecraft_1937) reported

    Ok @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent I done paid $40 for your free to play Overwatch 2, just to get home from a stressful day at work and get hit with log in errors and infinite queues. This is not cool, bros.

  • Spyder2K1 SPYDER2K1 (@Spyder2K1) reported

    Overwatch 2 9hrs later im still in que’s, ang back to back Login Failure honestly this is stupid. Blizzard knew what to expect, its been 9hrs and still cant get in yup uninstalling this pos game i knew i shouldnt have bothered. Blizzard has no excuse as experienced as thy are smh

  • cosmicnyyxx Cosmicnyyxx (@cosmicnyyxx) reported

    It's been almost 10 hours since trying to get into Overwatch 2 and still error after error, lets's hope tomorrow morning is gonna be better 🫤

  • Benalderson7 Ben alderson (@Benalderson7) reported

    @joshua__fuller @LouangelNieves @ItsSomjuu I got my number and iPhone from Verizon several years ago. Switched not long ago to cricket for their service plan. Pay a monthly bill like most people. Can’t play overwatch though because of where I shop for service

  • Faifur Faifur | Goblin Vtuber (@Faifur) reported

    my only issue with Overwatch 2 is the same issue i had with 1. If you DC, you better be back QUICK or be locked out of the game. Why would you lock someone out of rejoining a ranked game regardless of time

  • ConchProphet ConchProphet (@ConchProphet) reported

    I played overwatch 2…I expected the same toxicity and awfulness… and I encountered so many nice people saying good job in honesty even if we lost. Did they actually FIX overwatch? Cause I had fun.

  • XnBFN XnB (@XnBFN) reported

    how do i fix my overwatch saying connecting to game and then it says failed and repeates

  • Im_Not_Angry_ 💀🎃¥ung Cry$tal M€th👻😱 (@Im_Not_Angry_) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent please fix your phone number system. I can't get on overwatch 2 cause I got cricket

  • R90Stryker OG Stryker (@R90Stryker) reported

    After trying to get into overwatch 2 for 5 HOURS and all I get is 3 min to do my settings before I get DCed y’all are really killing it. At this point y’all deserve a DDoS

  • GagneBeckham vonix does not pull (@GagneBeckham) reported

    trying to play the new overwatch 2 this game has been out for not even 12 hours and it already having Erros fix your game want to play #Overwatch2

  • Dxme_G 🧛 (@Dxme_G) reported

    OVERWATCH FIX THE DAMN GAME

  • sifuhallyu sifuhallyu (@sifuhallyu) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Requiring a phone number to download Overwatch is ludicrous. I haven't paid for cell phone service in 10 years. Everywhere I go has wifi and VoiP works just fine. Fix that ****. @PlayOverwatch

  • Odysphere Odysphere (@Odysphere) reported

    So Overwatch 2 was fun after being in queue for a few hours. May have been rough getting into the game but it was fun. Hopefully the servers get fixed so the queue is as much of an issue.
